Question

-
A man weighing 500 Newton stands on a wooden plank
1 m long and 40 km wide. Find the pressure
emerted on the ground.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 0.0125 N/m^2 or 0.0125 Pa (Pascal)

Explanation:

Force = 500 N

Area of wooden plank = 1 m × (40×1000) m

= 40000 m^2

Pressure = Force / Area

= 500 N / 40000 m^2

= 0.0125 N/m^2 or 0.0125 Pa (Pascal)

Hope it helps!!
